Re: Empire State Building turns red-yellow for China's 60th

I haven't understood why we've tried to be so buddy buddy with commies like China. Communism is horrible, and the Chinese government is horrible. We should deal with them in a cordial manner as demanded by diplomacy and nothing else. We shouldn't do anything to celebrate the existence of commie governments.

You know the time is right to take control, we gotta take offense against the status quo

I can't even begin to imagine what the Empire State Building Corporation is thinking. Sure, maybe they'll get some goodwill with Chinese clients, but they're also offending a lot of Americans. An incredibly stupid idea.

Because it also resulted in a huge cheap labor force which American corporations can use to manufacture products at a greatly reduced cost, which in turn will allow those of us who have been forced to take lower-paying jobs to continue to line the pockets of our post-industrial masters.
